Bibek Paudel writes "Comcast on Tuesday announced that it would partner with Pando Networks to create a P2P Bill of Rights for file-sharing networks and Internet service providers. Comcast and Pando will meet with industry experts, other ISPs, and P2P companies in order to come up with a set of rules that would clarify how a user can use P2P applications and how an ISP can manage file-sharing programs running on their networks.Last month, Comcast announced that it had reached an agreement with BitTorrent whereby Comcast agreed to alter its network management practices, and BitTorrent acknowledged that Comcast has the right to police its own network. Comcast's battle with P2P networks started last year after the Associated Press published an article that accused Comcast of blocking peer-to-peer services like BitTorrent. Comcast admitted to delaying P2P traffic during peak times, but denied that any file-sharing applications were being completely blocked." Read more of this story at Slashdot. ...

Torodung writes "In a recent move, Comcast has proposed a 'P2P Bill of Rights,' joining the ranks of every great monopoly when threatened by government regulation for alleged misbehavior.

Comcast and Pando Networks have agreed to help forge a Bill of Rights for peer-to-peer file distribution on broadband networks. The companies want to include other industry experts to clarify which choices and controls consumers should have when using P2P. "Working together, Comcast and Pando can help lead the discussion about what consumers should expect," said Comcast CTO Tony Werner. "Doing so is in the best interest of everyone involved -- ISPs, P2P companies and consumers." Reaching Consensus Comcast and Pando hope to foster an industry-wide consensus on the processes and practices that Internet service providers should use. In particular, executives from both companies say they believe PC users should have the right to control their computer resources when using P2P applications. "By having this framework in place, we will help P2P companies, ISPs and content owners find common ground to support consumers who want to use P2P applications to deliver legal content," Werner said. To quantify their recommendations, the two companies will jointly conduct tests of Pando's Network Aware P2P technology that will measure performance, speed, bandwidth consumption, distance and geography, and their collective impact on ISPs. In addition, Pando said it plans to conduct further tests on the cable, DSL, fiber and wireless networks of other service providers. "We need more data and analysis of how P2P applications deliv ...
